Profile:

As the new ball partner of statemate Javagal Srinath, Venkatesh Prasad has always been an important member of the Indian team ever since his debut in 1996. Tall and proportionally built, Prasad's great strength is that he can move the ball both ways. A deceptive slower ball has also proved an useful weapon. At 32, Prasad though is definitely nearing the end of his career. He though will be expecting to do reasonably well on the helpful tracks of South Africa which saw him return his best Test match haul in 1996.

Not surprisingly, Venky has achieved better figures in more helpful conditions abroad than at home, where the slow, bald tracks have not encouraged his mode of attack. Yet, paradoxically enough, his most devastating spell came at Chennai where in the first Test in January 1999, he brought the Pakistan second innings to a swift end with figures of six for 33 which included a spell of five for zero. A calm, unruffled team man, Prasad's effective seam bowling has been invaluable to the country in the shorter version of the game. Crossing the 200-wicket landmark in one-dayer should give him great pleasure.(Partab Ramchand )
